A lisitiMnrii'ice T.hc icniv I Urn; of the most peculiar cases of disappearance in the experience" of the police of this c:t, iiti.lwhieli it was thought would rem tin forever mi un solved mystery, has been recently cleared up.

This is ahoiit all that can be learned, but this is interesting from the sensation that the case made at tho time of the disappearance. Miss Whitney left the ollice at noon on tho day in .piestiou, and went to her boarding house on Hancock street, where she got her luncheon. JHhe then left the house and wi:s not tijjaiu seen. The papers were full of the case, mid every posaihlc theory, from murder to abduction, was advanced. It caam to be pretty generally believed, however, that she left of Iter own free will, for although she took but little of her clolhiug or other property with her, it was known that she had saved her salary for some time past, and 'on the day on which she lett had drawn out a lull month's pay, atuouutinu' to Nothing in ore w as heard ot her until about two weeks ago, when In r mother received a letter stating that she wus happily marrie.l, an I inclosing a pic ture of her child.

If it Iss to keep your funernl day from twing horri ble beyond all endurance. Iecniie it Is to Iro llie disruption nnd annihilation of thu do mestic circle U it be for that. then It Is ning nlflceiil. There are those who are kept in rinvnrtv Idealise of Iheir own fault. 'I hey might linve been well off. but they smoked or chewed up their earnings, or tlmv lived beyond their mennx, while other on thame wnges and on I he same salaries went on to eomiieteney. I know a mau who was all the time com. plaining of his poverty mid crying out against rich men, while he himself keeps wo dogs, mid chews and smokes, and Is full to the chin with whisky and tecr.

If by hoiiii generous tint of liie capitalists of this country, or by a tew law of the gov ernment of tin. 1'niied States, twentv-tlve per cent., or llfty per cent., or om hundred percent, were added to the wages of the worslng classes of Amerl' il. It would Is no advantage to hundreds of thousands of them unless they stopped strong drink. Ave, un til they quit tha evil habit, the more money, the more ruin, tlm more wages, the, more Holes in tlie hag. My plea this morning Is to those working people who are In n diseiphxuip to whisky bottle, the Ireer-aiug, and the wlue-flask. And what I sny to them will not be more ap jiroprlnte to the working classes than loth business classes, and the literary classes, and the professional classes, and all classes, and not with the people ot one age more than of all ages. Take one good square look nt the suffering of tlie mau whom strong drink has enthralled, nnd remember that toward that goal multitude- are rutniyig. The dis ciple ol alcoholism sullers tlie loss of wlf rcspe,t. Just as soon as a man wakes up aud finds that he Is thecaptivenf strong drink, he feels demeaned. I do not care how reckless he nets. I(a may say. "I don't care;" lie does care. He cannot look a pure iiuin In the eve unless it is with positive force of resolution. TlinN.-foiirths of his nature Is destroyed; his self-respect Is gone; he says things he would not otherwise sny; he does things lie would not otherwise do. When a man . Is tune-tenths gone with strong drink, the first thing he wants to do i-to persuade yon that he can Mop auv time he wants to. Heeiimiot. The Philistines have bound him hand aud foot, mid shorn his leek, nnd put out his eyes, mid ure making him grind iu the mill of a great horror. lb. entiuot stop. I will prove it. Heknowsthat his course is bringing ruin upon himself. H love himself. f he Could stop he would. Ha knows Ills course is bringing ruin upon his family. Ho loves them. He would slop If lie could. He cannot. I'erluips he could thp.e n out lis or n year ago. not now. .Iut ask him to stop fora mouth. He cannot; he knows he cannot, so hu does not try. I had a friend who was for fifteen j cars going iI jwu under this evil habit. H' had large Means. He had given thousands of dollars to Hible societies, uml reformatory Institutions of nil sorts. He was verv genial, very generous, and verv lovable, anil whenever he talked about thin' evil habit he would say, "I cuu stopauy time." Hut lie kept going on, going on, down, down, down. His fmnilv would sav, ' wish you would atop." "Why," he would reply. "I can atop any time If I waut to." After a while lift had delirium tremens; h had It twlot; aud yet, after that, be said. "I eoubi atop at any tlmelf I wanted to." He la dead now. What killed hitn? liuiu! Hum! And yet amoug his last utterances was, "I can stop at any time." He did not stop it, be cause he could not stop It. Uh. there is n point In tnnbrlntioii beyond which, if a mau goes he cannot stop! One of these victims said to a Christian nuiu, "Sir. if I were told that I couldn't gt a drink: uuttl to-morrow night utiles.-I had all my tinge cut off, I w utd sav, Miring the hatchet and cut them od u wv'" I have a dear friend in Philadelphia whose nephew came to hlraohe. day. an I, when In- was e.x-lio-tod about his evil habit, said, "fuel", I can't give it up.
